EV'RY NIGHT SPENT ALONE
WAITING FOR A CALL ON THE TELEPHONE
JUST WANTING TO BE THERE
I CAN SEE ALL MY FRIENDS BUT IT'S JUST A GLARE
REFLECTION OF THE LIGHT
IN MY LONELY NIGHT

AND THE HOURS GO BY
AS I START TO REST I BEGIN TO CRY
WONDERING WHY I'M HERE
IT MAY SEEM STRANGE TO YOU--I'M STILL NOT CLEAR
REFLECTION OF THE LIGHT
IN MY LONELY NIGHT

ONE BY ONE THEY DRIFT AWAY
NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU WANT'EM TO STAY
BUT NEVER DO YOU LEARN
THAT FIRE ALWYAS BURNS
AND YOU'RE HURT AGAIN

WHENEVER THEY SEE YOU
ALWAYS RUSHED OUT THE DOOR THEY PUSH YOU THRU
I'M NOW STARTING TO SEE
THAT FRIENDS ARE NEVER WHAT THEY SEEM TO BE
THE REFLECTION OF THE LIGHT
IN MY LONELY NIGHT

ONE BY ONE THEY DRIFT AWAY
NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU WANT'EM TO STAY
BUT NEVER DO YOU LEARN
THAT FIRE ALWAYS BURNS
AND YOU'RE HURT AGAIN

EV'RY NIGHT SPENT ALONE
WAITING FOR A CALL ON THE TELEPHONE
JUST WANTING TO BE THERE
I CAN SEE ALL MY FRIENDS BUT IT'S JUST A GLARE
IS IT THE REFLECTION OF THE LIGHT
IN MY DARK AND LONELY NIGHT?
